 GO
KART GO- Flying (House
Cat Records) Hailing from San Francisco, musical threesome Go Kart Go
has just unleashed ‘Flying.’
This twelve-song disc is the third release for the band following
2002’s ‘The Ninth Floor,’ and
their 1999 debut release 'Run
For Tin.' ‘Flying’
is an
explosion of fresh tunes that fit into the ‘fun’ side of the
alternative genre. Eric
Anderson
carries out both his guitar and vocal duties with a raw exuberance.
Backing up Anderson, is Pete
Krawiec on drums and vocals, and Chris Hanson, whose deviant bass riffs
add to these songs giving them a distinctive sound. Highlights of this
disc are the title cut, ‘Flying…is better than these walls,’ and the
more melodic ‘Try to Try.’ The rest of the disc has a lot of blithesomely, catchy tunes,
any of which I can see getting radio play.
However, a lot of these songs, though guaranteed toe-tappers, sound
very similar to one another. All
in all, a good-time listen even despite the angst themes, but a little
aural variety would make ‘Flying’ even better. -Melanie Falina
